<H2>18.1 Overview</H2>
<A NAME="idx420"><!></A>
<P>The Standard C++ Library provides a set of classes for reporting errors. These classes use the exception handling facility of the language. The library implements a particular error model, which divides errors in two broad categories: <I>logic errors</I> and <I>runtime errors</I>.</P>
<A NAME="idx421"><!></A>
<P><I>Logic errors</I> are errors caused by problems in the internal logic of the program. They are generally preventable.</P>
<A NAME="idx422"><!></A>
<P><I>Runtime errors</I>, on the other hand, are generally not preventable, or at least not predictable. These are errors generated by circumstances outside the control of the program, such as peripheral hardware faults.</P>
<A NAME="1811"><H3>18.1.1 Include Files</H3></A>
<A NAME="idx423"><!></A>
<P>Programs that use the exception handling classes must include the following header file:</P>
